I know your pain... you have my sympathy! Had two similar problems with our 240. The first was a spilled gallon of milk in the trunk, Fabreeze and a good vacuuming took care of the rotten milk stench. The second was a "dead wolf carcass" type smell. As it turns out, a rather large rodent, also known as a Vole (looks like a Hamster but is the size of a rat) had gotten into the car, climbed into the center console (Heater core/A/C /fan area) and croaked! It might be worth your time to pull the side panels off the center console and take a look in there. After removing the remains and impailing them on the antenna (just kidding), it took a full bottle of Fabreeze on all cloth surfaces and finally a wet-vac to clear the stench.

If all else fails, 465 air conditioning and a clothes pin on the nose works great!
